Occasionally, the Royal mint has a mix up with the dies or the blanks used to produce coins. It is possible that the 10 New Pence dies were used on a 2 New Pence blank. If this is the case, part of the 10 Pence coin design will be outside the perimeter of the 2 Pence blank, the 10 Pence coin being slightly larger than the 2 Pence coin. Alternatively, you may have a trick coin available from magic shops.
The value of the copper in a 2 Pence coin would be significantly less then 10% of the face value of the coin at the time the coin was minted. Today, it might be a little more, about 0.2 Pence.
The Two Pence coin has been known as Twopence (pronounced Tuppence) for many years. For many years it was known as a Half-Groat, a Groat being a coin valued at Fourpence. In decimal currency, the Two Pence coin was initially known as 2 New Pence until 1981, from when it became just 2 Pence.
2 Pence coins are not used as commemoratives.
A five pence coin is worth 5 pence, and 7 pennies are worth 7 pence, making the total value 5 + 7 = 12 pence. Since each 2p coin is worth 2 pence, you can determine how many 2p coins equal 12 pence by dividing 12 by 2. Thus, 12 pence divided by 2 pence per coin equals 6. Therefore, 6 two-pence coins have the same value as 1 five pence coin and 7 pennies.
Please check your coin. Australia has never issued a 2 Pence coin and "NEW PENCE" was the term applied to the range of British decimal coins from 1968 to 1981.
One fifty pence and one five pence, one of them is not a five pence.
In 2008, all British circulating coins had a redesigned reverse. When one of each of the six "Pence" coins is arranged correctly, the composite design shows the Royal Shield. That part of the shield visible on the 2 Pence coin shows the "Lion Rampant" from the Royal Banner of Scotland.
Assuming it's a current British 2p coin dated 1968 or later, in average condition it's only worth face value - roughly US 3¢
